Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Alveoloplasty: It is the surgical shaping or reshaping of the dental ridges (bone) especially after extraction of several teeth or in preparation for dentures. It will be sore after the procedure is completed, pain that can be managed with medications.
